    It's really interesting how the humpback whale, an animal always seen as a gentle giant, is the only animal known to go out of its way to attack the apex predator of the ocean, even going so far as to protect other whales of separate species! This really just goes to show how amazing highly intelligent animals are, and it's incredibly fascinating to see behavior like this!

      There’s a theory that’s why they have pectoral fins as big as they do, they’re very mobile and covered in barnacles. They use them as clubs offensively and that’s seems to be a huge part of what gives them the edge over other whales, they’re not even in the top 5 size wise!

    I remember footage of a seal trapped on floating ice being hunted by Orcas, the orcas tipped it off the ice into the water, Only for a massive bull humpback to surface underneath the seal. The seal was then safe sitting on this huge male humpback who stayed with the seal untill the orcas gave up and left.

    Video idea: animals with generational trauma.
    The humpback whales made me think of it. I had heard that was the reason that they will go out of their way to go after some orcas. Generations of having to worry about them finally made them react, and now it is not surprising behavior from them.
    Just like some cheetah’s having surrogate/emotional support dogs in zoos. The trauma of always having so many predators hunt them has made them prone to anxiety. Why some exhibits have a dog randomly in the cheetah enclosure.

    I'm morbidly curious in how anteaters fight, is it a stabbing punch type deal?
    We don't have too many animals that can & do move their arms like that even if it's a solid hook.
    I'll admit I fully underestimate their potential but I respect that they fight jaguar and that says a monumental amount if it's 1 me vs 1 giant anteater.

    Apparently orcas leave pilot whales alone and , in fact, flee from pilot whales when ever they see them, mostly because they have sharp teeth too, and though not as big as orcas but are still to big to be targeted. So theses guys regularly chase orcas around!!!

    Nice video. You showed the blue whale and stated it was the largest animal alive today. I'm not sure if you're saying the largest animal that lives today, or if you're saying that they're the largest animal alive today, meaning in the past, there were bigger. If it's the first one, then it's worded a little strange since you could say the largest animal to ever live. The blue whale is bigger than the biggest dinosaur to ever live. They are about the size of 30 T-rexs. Other than that, it was very informative.

    Another animal I can think of that's able to fight back against predators, and defeat them, is the American Mink. It's a formidable predator in and of itself, as it's able to take down animals much larger than itself. Some animals Minks are known to go after are Gulls, Ducks, Geese, and even Swans! However, American Mink are sometimes targeted by predators such as Foxes, Bobcats, Coyotes, and even Great-Horned Owls. Despite this, Minks are very nimble, agile, have sharp teeth and claws, and they spray a foul-smelling, oily fluid to deter predators. There are videos out there of Minks defending themselves against Bobcats and Coyotes, and it's very unique to see. However, American Mink are also very curious animals, and it's very easy to trap them.

African wild dogs have only ever been documented killing young ones. And even then it's rare because the adult males are too dangerous! And the whole thing about leopards killing gorillas, also rare af! Have they killed male gorillas before? Yes, but the majority of time they get smashed and chased off! I've seen 2 occasions of the aftermath of Silverbacks attacked by leopards! The Silverbacks had injuries to their shoulders and trapezoids but were able to fight it off

    The only animal on this list that surprised me is the anteater. I read the encyclopedias from "A-Z" as a preteen; I've always had an interest in the "natural world."
    Even so, I never realized that anteaters were dangerous enough and had such 'tudes that they don't take crap from nothing or no one and actually kill people...
    A lot of people would call anteaters "badasses" but that's a vulgar and worldly term: Hence instead of a 'badass,' I'll call anteaters "good donkeys," instead. Sounds a lot less vulgar than "badass," don't it?

I wouldn't pick a fight with one, let alone a whole troop!
